•r <br />Ensminger shop. All maintenance supplies, such as oil, grease, etc. is housed at <br />the Ensminger Construction shop that is neaz Haxtun. <br />Smooth transition slopes will be maintained between the pit and the naturally <br />occurring intermittent creek. These transition slopes will allow flow during <br />heavy runoff to continue unimpeded through the site, minimizing any off-site <br />damage, and maintaining stability for the banks that will ultimately be reclaimed. <br />No surface water structures are planned at the site. <br />Mr. Ensminger is aware of the division's policy regarding toxic or hazardous <br />materials. Maintenance of the equipment will not occur at the pit site. Any <br />reportable spill would be handled according to the protocol set forth in the <br />Division's policy regarding "Notification of Toxic or hazardous Materials Spills <br />at Mine Site." <br />4) Rule 6.3.4 Exhibit D-Reclamation Plan. Please address the following items: <br />• Please specify the depth of topsoil to be replaced on site. <br />Six inches of topsoil will be put in place as the banks aze reclaimed. <br />• Please specify a seed mixture to be planted in pure live seed per acre (PLS), <br />the applicatiou method for seeding, bow the seed bed will be prepared to <br />eliminate compacted conditions, and the time of year when the area will be <br />re-seeded. Please also state if fertilizer or mulch will be applied to the site <br />and state the quantities and application rate. <br />The NRC recommendation will be the method employed as the site is reclaimed. <br />That plan would employ a cover crop such as hybrid forage sorghum. After the <br />topsoil is applied, the azea will be worked with an offset disk if there are areas, <br />which are compacted, that will not receive seed well. As stated in the plan, the <br />cover crop will be planted before July. The local grain cooperative will take a <br />soil test prior to re-seeding. Fertilizer quantities and application rate will be <br />applied according to the recommendation provided by the agronomist at that time. <br />After the establishment of the cover crop, the site will be seeded with the grass <br />mixture specified in the NRC recommendation. The seeding rate would also be <br />according to the rate recommended in the NRC plan. The grass seed will be <br />drilled with a grass drill between the dates of November 1 and May 1. <br />• Please state if the bottom of the reclaimed drainage will be reinforced with <br />rock material (or other method) to provide a stable channel configuration <br />consistent with the future land use. <br />
